Great thread and pieces. Love both pieces in their own way. "Let Us Have Peace" seems to be a long term and consistent aspiration.
Here's one I was following a while back and seriously considering. Anyone know who picked this up?

Thanks Flatwoods!
That last medal was struck from newly-engraved dies by Barber in 1876, so truly a Centennial medal. Mint records report that 86 pieces were struck in Bronze. Here is another, still displaying some min red color:

Excellent pieces!For the Centennial of the Great Seal in 1882, a different medal was produced by the U.S. Mint:

Sometime around 1874 the US Mint in Philadelphia discontinued use of its first steam-powered press. Enter George B. Soley who acquired the press as scrap in 1875. In 1876, at the Centennial Exposition, Soley displayed the press and struck a number of medals and tokens:

I am working on a centennial year mint set. If I ever become a millionaire I might be able to complete it. Does anyone know how to link to a set in the registry?

Does anyone know how to link to a set in the registry?As your typing out your comment, use the 8th icon above -- the one that looks like two links of chain. That will let you link the webpage you want. What I do is, I open the target webpage in another tab of my browser, and then copy the address of that page. Then I just come back here, click the chain icon and paste the URL that was copied.
For example, here is my Registry Showcase it call Libertas Americana Tokens of the U.S. Centennial:

Now, for my contribution of an 1876 centennial piece ---

The token takes an interesting perspective on the Centennial, stating "Our 100th Year Begin July 5 1875" That being said, the Centennial Exposition did last quite a long time!

Here is an odd piece that I happen to have. I have a number of "main stream" pieces that I have shown in the past, including set that made of wood.

Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?1
